GATES^® PREMIUM POWER TRANSMISSION PRODUCTS

Gates^® combines material science and process engineering to create innovative power transmission products designed to withstand even the most challenging environments.

Gates^® has a number of premium power transmission products in its range that help businesses reduce downtime and increase uptime, including:

Gates^® Predator™ V-Belts

The Predator™ V-belt is specifically designed for the toughest working environments including but not limited to high-powered motors, shock loads from sudden starts and stops, contamination from oil or solvents and high temperatures.

Benefits Include:

• Maintenance free
• 35% less drive cost
• 60% less drive width
• 50% less weight
• Shaft load remains unchanged

Predator™ v-belts can handle 2.2 times more power than the equivalent size standard belt while weighing 63% less, this means instead of using 6 standard belts, you could use 3 Predator V-belts for less weight and higher performance. This ends up more cost effective as the lighter V-belts put less strain on costlier components and uses fewer belts all of which save you money.  

Poly Chain^® GT™ Carbon™ Synchronous Belts

Poly Chain^® GT™ Carbon™ synchronous belts are maintenance-free, stretch-free belt designed to replace roller chains. Standard roller chains require a lot of maintenance including re-tensioning and lubrication which results in excessive downtime and maintenance costs. Poly Chain^® GT™ Carbon™ belts are completely maintenance-free maximising uptime and minimising downtime, saving you money.

Benefits include:

• Maintenance free
• 400% greater capacity than HTD timing belts
• 5% energy savings over v-belts
• 99% efficiency for the life of the drive
• Reduce down-time
• Reduce drive weight and overhung loads
• Over 120,000 possible drive combinations
• Inert to most acids, chemicals and water
• Stainless steel sprockets and taper locks available in certain sizes
• Width-for-width roller chain conversions
• No stretch, no lubrication, no re-tensioning
• Outlasts roller chain up to 4 to 1
• Outlasts roller chain sprockets up to 10 to 1
• Inside & backside idlers can be used

PowerGrip™ GT4™ Synchronous Belts

The PowerGrip™ GT4™ offers high horsepower despite its narrow size which means you can use smaller sprocket size thus saving you money. The PowerGrip™ GT4™ is able to operate in temperatures from -40°c to +120°c with intermittent use up to 140°c. Hazardous and explosive areas are suitable for the PowerGrip™ GT4™ due to its static conductive properties.

Benefits include:

• Maintenance-free
• Low noise and vibration
• Greater capacity, narrower drive designs
• Abrasion-resistant, longer life
• Static conductive to ISO 9563
• Fully operational in a wide range of temperatures: -40°C to +120°C with intermittent use up to 140°C
